[English]

How many fights do the lines

On my hands remember?

How many stories can fit

Inside of 21 grams?

You, who are far away

And yet so close

You, who are far away

And yet so close

Closer than my own jugular vein

For your sake, I would destroy the heavens

For your sake, I would tear down hell

Broken promises

And threats

Look, I don't have time

To hate Lucifer

I'm far too busy

Loving you, Undibel

My heart

Which is always in a race

I am picking the flowers

Before spring arrives

Where the horses are tied

Mine are tied up tight

Blood and luck

Is what I've been dragged into here

Your love is an avalanche

Falling under its own weight just by existing

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow

The snow I want to sink into

For your sake, I would destroy the heavens

For your sake, I would tear down hell

Broken promises

And threats

I fit in the world

And the world fits in me

I occupy the world

And the world occupies me

I fit into a haiku

And a haiku occupies a country

A country fits into a splinter

A splinter occupies the entire galaxy

The entire galaxy fits into a drop of saliva

A drop of saliva occupies Fifth Avenue

Fifth Avenue fits into a piercing

A piercing occupies a pyramid

And a pyramid fits into a glass of milk

And a glass of milk occupies an army

And an army fits inside a golf ball

And a golf ball occupies the Titanic

The Titanic fits into a lipstick

A lipstick occupies the sky

The sky is the thorn

A thorn occupies a continent

And a continent doesn't fit in Him

But He fits in my chest

And my chest occupies His love

And in His love, I want to lose myself

7 heavens

Big deal

I wanna see the 8th heaven

10th heaven

Thousandth heaven

You know, it's like

Break on through to the other side

It's just like going through one door

One door isn't enough

A million doors aren't enough

...

[Spanish]

¿Cuántas peleas recuerdan

Las líneas de mis manos?

¿Cuántas historias caben

Metidas en 21 gramos?

Tú que estás lejos

Y a la vez más cerca

Tú que estás lejos

Y a la vez más cerca

Que mi propia vena yugular

من أجلك أدمر السماء

من أجلك أهدم الجحي

فال وعود

وال وعيد

Mira yo no tengo tiempo

Para odiar a lucifer

Estoy demasiado ocupada

Amándote a ti Undibel

Mi corazón

Que siempre está en una carrera

Estoy cortando las flores

Antes de que sea primavera

Donde atan los caballos

Los míos bien amarrados

La sangre y la suerte

Aquí me han arrastrado

Tu amor es una avalancha

Cae por su propio peso al existir

Ayer, hoy y mañana

La nieve en la que me quiero hundir

من أجلك أدمر السماء

من أجلك أهدم الجحي

فال وعود

وال وعيد

Yo quepo en el mundo

Y el mundo cabe en mí

Yo ocupo el mundo

Y el mundo me ocupa a mí

Yo quepo en un haiku

Y un haiku ocupa un país

Un país cabe en una astilla

Una astilla ocupa la galaxia entera

La galaxia entera cabe en una gota de saliva

Una gota de saliva ocupa la 5a avenida

La 5a avenida cabe en un piercing

Un piercing ocupa una pirámide

Y una pirámide cabe en un vaso de leche

Y un vaso de leche ocupa un ejército

Y un ejército cabe metido en una pelota de golf

Y una pelota de golf ocupa el Titanic

El Titanic cabe en un pintalabios

Un pintalabios ocupa el cielo

El cielo es la espina

Una espina ocupa un continente

Y un continente no cabe en Él

Pero Él cabe en mi pecho

Y mi pecho ocupa su amor

Y en su amor me quiero perder

7 heavens

Big deal

I wanna see the 8th heaven

10th heaven

Thousandth heaven

You know, it's like

Break on through the other side

It's just like going through one door

One door isn't enough

A million doors aren't enough
